Again, having had experience with 3-4 defense, a lot of those guys, the Willie McGinests, the Mike Vrabels, the Rosie [Roosevelt] Colvins, those guys, whether you want to call them outside linebackers, defensive ends, they essentially line up in the same spot and do a lot of the same things. There has to be like 80, 90 percent carryover between those positions. Now you have some coverage responsibilities that maybe a 3-4 linebacker has that some 4-3 ends don’t have although teams are dropping 4-3 ends off too so it kind of is the same. But I’d say more of it in 3-4 but the rest of it, playing at the end of the line, whether they’re up or down or in a 4-3 or 3-4, I think is a matter of semantics.
